The main challenges and drivers in the industrial environment

• Shorter

innovation cycles

• More complex products

• Greater data volumes

Shorten time

to market

• Individualized mass

production

• Volatile markets

• High productivity

Increase

flexibility

• Energy efficiency

and resource efficiency

are critical competition

factors

Boost

efficiency

Machine tool user | CAD/CAM-CNC process chain


CAD/CAM-CNC process chain

• Do the NC programs run without collision?

• Does the program syntax contain any errors?

• How long takes the machining process on the machine?

• How can I save as much time as possible when testing

new part programs?
